Crispy Salt and Pepper Potatoes image

These crispy potatoes are like little starch balloons that pop when you bite into them. The secret: They're tossed in egg whites before cooking.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites
1 pound new potatoes (about 1 inch in diameter)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy (there shouldn't be any liquid whites in the bowl). Add the potatoes and toss until they're well coated with the egg whites, then transfer to a strainer or colander and let the excess whites drain. Season the potatoes with the salt, pepper, and herbs. Scatter the potatoes on the baking sheet (make sure they're not touching) and roast until the potatoes are very crispy and tender when poked with a knife, about 20 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes).
  • Transfer to a bowl and serve.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, skins on, scrubbed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon Dill Mayo, recipe follows
3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
6 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut any larger potatoes in half so they are all roughly the same size. Put into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and gently simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well using a colander.
  • Tip the potatoes out onto a baking sheet and press each one down in the middle with a potato masher or your thumb to crush it. (Let cool slightly before crushing if using your thumb.)
  • Drizzle the olive oil over and sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Gently toss each potato in the seasoning.
  • Bake the potatoes, flipping them halfway through, until crispy and golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with the Lemon Dill Mayo.
  • Add the mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Mix well to combine.

CRISPY POTATOES WITH ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds creamer or red bliss potatoes, halved, or quartered if large
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Roasted Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
1 red bell pepper, seeded and halved
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and halved
1/2 red onion, halved
3 cloves garlic
8 to 10 whole black peppercorns
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)

Steps:

  • In a large pot over high heat, add the potatoes and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add a pinch of salt, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly tender, but not easily poked by a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pour put them onto a baking sheet to cool completely.
  • In a large pan add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the potatoes, season with salt and leave alone to allow a crust to form, about 5 minutes. Once a crust forms on the bottom give the potatoes a toss or flip them with a spatula and allow them to crisp on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Serve drizzled with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and peppercorns on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a healthy pinch of salt. Mix with your hands to fully coat the vegetables, and arrange the bell peppers, skin side up, so that the garlic and peppercorns can hide under the cavity of the bell pepper halves. Roast until the skin of the peppers begins to blacken and pucker, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately put all of the ingredients and residue from the baking sheet into a bowl, and quickly cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the pepper halves and, using your fingers, remove their skin by gently ripping and pulling it off, and return the peeled peppers to the bowl.
  • Add the mixture to a blender along with the chili sauce. Pulse lightly until almost smooth, but still having a slight texture. Season, to taste, with salt and pour it into a small bowl.

CRISPY SALT & PEPPER ROASTIES



Crispy salt & pepper roasties image

Feed a crowd with these irresistibly crunchy roast potatoes, crisped to perfection with flour

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2kg King Edward potato
6 tbsp goose fat
2 tbsp plain flour
flaky salt
½ tbsp black peppercorns , crushed
6 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into halves, quarters, or eighths if really large - you want to end up with even-sized 5cm pieces. Put the potatoes in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 8-10 mins, until the outsides start to soften. To check, try scraping a potato with a fork - it should be easy to make a mark but you shouldn't be able to slide it into the flesh. Drain really well, then shake in the pan to rough the potatoes up a bit. Add the goose fat and toss until coated. Chill until roasting. The potatoes will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the potatoes with the flour, salt and crushed peppercorns (see below).
  • Place the oil in a roasting tin large enough to hold all the potatoes in one layer and heat in the oven for 5 mins. Quickly tip the potatoes in and return to the oven. Cook for 30 mins, turning once. When the turkey comes out of the oven, increase the heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook for 30-40 mins more or until crisp all over (you can do this while the turkey is resting). Sprinkle with salt to serve.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Opt for firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or Baby Potatoes, as they hold their shape well during frying.
  • Cut Potatoes Evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform wedges or cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • Soak the Potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
  • Dry the Potatoes Thoroughly: Pat the potatoes dry before frying to prevent splattering and promote even browning.
  • Use a Large Frying Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with potatoes to ensure they fry evenly.
  • Fry in Hot Oil: Heat the oil to the correct temperature (350°F/175°C) before adding the potatoes. This prevents the potatoes from absorbing too much oil.
  • Season Generously: Don't skimp on the salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes with the seasonings before frying for maximum flavor.
  • Flip the Potatoes: Flip the potatoes occasionally during frying to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
  • Drain on Paper Towels: Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Serve Hot: Enjoy the crispy salt and pepper potatoes immediately while they're hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy salt and pepper potatoes are an easy-to-make, flavorful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. By following these tips, you'll be able to create perfectly crispy, addictive potatoes that will be a hit at your next gathering. Whether you serve them as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, these potatoes are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
